Biggest Movers: BCH Hits Fresh Multi-Month High, Whilst MATIC Extends Declines 

Bitcoin cash jumped to a fresh seven-month high on Tuesday, as prices rallied, despite bearish sentiment increasing. Today’s move comes as the global cryptocurrency market cap is trading 1.50% lower at the time of writing. One of the most notable tokens to fall has been polygon, which dropped for a fourth straight day.

Bitcoin Cash (BCH)

Bitcoin cash (BCH) surged to a fresh multi-month high on Tuesday, despite sentiment in crypto markets turning bearish.

Following a low of $143.19 to start the week, BCH/USD moved to an intraday high of $152.71 in today’s session.

As a result of this surge, bitcoin cash moved to its highest point since July 31, which is the last time price was above $150.00.

Overall, BCH is up nearly 20% in the last seven days, with today’s gains following a breakout on the relative strength index (RSI).

Price strength moved beyond a ceiling at 68.00, and at the time of writing, is tracking at 69.88.

Despite the next visible ceiling being at 71.00, earlier gains have begun to ease, with bulls opting to secure profits.

Polygon (MATIC)

Polygon (MATIC) was one of last week’s big movers, however it has now fallen for a fourth straight session.

MATIC/USD dropped to a bottom at $1.41 on Tuesday, less than a day after price was trading at $1.50.

On Saturday, polygon bulls pushed prices deep into overbought territory by leading the token to its strongest point since last April.

As a result of this over-buying, bears saw this as an opportunity to reenter the market, sending the RSI from a high of 75.10, to a current reading of 62.70.

The index is now hovering marginally above a floor at 62.00, and should this be broken, bears could attempt to extend recent declines.

Economists Discuss Russia, China Potentially Developing Gold-Backed Currency That Could Undermine US Dollar

Economists have weighed in on reports that China and Russia may be developing a new gold-backed currency that could undermine the U.S. dollar’s status as the world’s primary reserve currency. Russia and China May Be Developing Gold-Backed Currency Several experts have shared their views on Russia and China potentially creating a new gold-baked currency, Fox Business reported Saturday, emphasizing that China has been buying up huge quantities of gold while Russia was forced off the U.S. dollar due to sanctions imposed on the country following its invasion of Ukraine.

Fidelity Discusses Bitcoin as Portfolio Insurance — Could Soon Stand in ‘Stark Contrast’ to Path Fiat Currencies Take

Fidelity Digital Assets, a subsidiary of Fidelity Investments, says that bitcoin could be considered portfolio insurance. The firm notes that the cryptocurrency “may soon stand in stark contrast to the path that the rest of the world and fiat currencies may take — namely the path of increased supply, additional currency creation, and central bank balance sheet expansion.” Fidelity Says Bitcoin Could Be Portfolio Insurance Fidelity Digital Assets, a subsidiary of Fidelity Investments, recently published a research study titled “The Rising Dollar and Bitcoin.” The research outlines “how bitcoin could be considered portfolio insurance” as the rising dollar impacts global currency markets. “The strengthening U.S. dollar is wreaking havoc among other countries and may put pressure on the Federal Reserve to soon reverse its tightening monetary actions, something that has precedent based on 1985’s Plaza Accord,” Fidelity explained. In addition, “more monetary debasement may be needed to ...
